Anor Aflame Occult opulence fuels a fervent plea to rend the veil between flesh and spirit. Favorite track: Le Hiérophante.

sachavonkarl74 French melodic black metal outfit, singing in French, and reminiscent of Véhémence though the vocals are less deep than the former. With a clear influence from melodic black metal from Sweden, if it wasn't for the French lyrics, you could think of being very similar to Sworn. In any case, this "gnostic" BM is highly recommended for fans of ABM/melodic Swedish BM and is definitely one to watch (and listen to, repeatedly :) !! Favorite track: Disciplina Arcani.

Luke I feel a certain kinship between this album and the recent Pénitence Onirique release. Both in terms of them being exceptionally good, French, and on the same label. But also in their simultaneous excoriation and plea to the divine. An uneasy relationship with muddy corporeality of human nature and the word and deed vs tooth and claw manifestations of the pantheon which are ultimately just us talking to ourselves; killing each other, rejecting each other, killing God.

A/Oratos is a Gnostic Black Metal band formed in Paris in 2016 by Wilhelm, deriving its name from the Greek AORATOS, which could be translated as in/visible.

The band engages in a struggle against the materiality and spiritual void of contemporary society through Knowledge, offering a musical reflection on the connections that govern the realms of the Visible and the Invisible.

Intensely melodic and mystical, featuring progressive variations and acoustic atmospheres, the group draws its reflection from the ancient esoteric traditions of Hermetism, Kabbalah, and Gnosis from the early centuries after AD.

Following a self-produced EP released in 2019, A/Oratos is returning with a debut album mixed and mastered by Frédéric Gervais at Studio Henosis, set to be released by Les Acteurs de l'Ombre in January 2024.
